While message is good, this ChatGPT article is unreadable. If this, then that. No point in reading some distilled, glossed over LLM bullshit.

But power user is dying and they are unable to write even a single blog post now.

Please further explain what you mean. I think this is a pretty interesting and well written article, but your comment made me doubt myself.

My advice would be to get used to this style, or otherwise you'd risk to miss out lots of interesting articles.

I can generate my own interesting articles. Just skip the middleman.

You can do it, yes. But use of LLMs is not a binary variable - a merely polished text might look like a generated one in its entirety. So you if you prioritize "human-looking" context (I do not) you'd be in disadvantage.

this style is like nails on a chalkboard. if they can’t care enough to make it readable, then they couldn’t pay me to care to read it

Once your got used to it, it even easier to read than human one, as you brain learns to ignore the structure enforced by LLM, an it always the same. YMMV, but to me, this style is grating, yes, but easier to parse, nonetheless.
